Conor Gleeson (23): Was under serious pressure under the high ball in the All-Ireland quarter-final, from which Armagh sourced two goals. That performance coloured the perception of his season because I thought he showed huge mental resolve to play as well as he did against Derry, especially in how he got his short-medium kickouts away.

Liam Silke (27): Despite making his name as a brilliant player with Corofin, a lot of people were unsure about him at this level. Yet you can see that he has played big games in Croke Park. Has the athleticism and has really proven himself now. If Seán O’Shea plays close to goal, Silke would be an ideal match-up, despite O’Shea’s physicality.
